At Least Death Cherishes Me

I caught shooting stars,
And I kept them in a jar.
I did it so that I can give them to you,
As a token of our love.
But when I showed it to you,
You sneered in disgust and shattered the jar,
Scattering the stars and causing them to burst like fireworks.
It was then I found out this love was one-sided.
You never loved me like I did you.
So now,
I reside in the arms of Death,
For he cherishes my soul more than you ever did.
